But as of right now, Oracle is focused on JDeveloper and Eclipse and we have no plans to adopt either NetBeans or any of its technology. Any statements to the contrary by anyone else in the industry are not true,” in the OTN-article is quite clear.

From my point of view it certainly doesn’t feel like JDeveloper development is coming to an end. Over the last month or so, we’ve been going full throttle on design work and the beginnings of development for the 11.0 (aka Fusion) release.

There are some very cool things in the pipeline for this release… I can honestly say that it really feels like we’re innovating in the IDE space in a way that really hasn’t happened before (it always felt like we were playing catch up). We’re also hiring (check out http://irecruitment.oracle.com), which is surely a sign that JDeveloper isn’t about to be canned any time soon…

Last but not least, the core of JDeveloper is fast becoming the de-facto standard within Oracle as the base platform for Java based desktop applications. Raptor is the first product based on this platform to be released in the wild, and the success of Raptor has helped us a great deal to encourage other products to move over to our platform. Expect to see more desktop applications from Oracle based on the JDeveloper core in the not too distant future…

All in all (and hopefully without seeming like too much of a spin doctor), JDeveloper’s future seems very rosy at this point.
